Station Odd One Out

[gnolife]

Is correct.

 

[Robinson]

Falmouth Town, Hatfield & Stainforth, Kirknewton, Mottisfont & Dunbridge. The theme is names.

 

[Buttsy]

Falmouth Town was once The Dell, Mottisfont & Dunbridge was once just Dunbridge so I'm guessing that one of the other two have changed their names and I'm going to plump for the fact Kirknewton was not the original name and so Hatfield & Stainforth is the odd one out as it hasn't changed name at all.

I think Buttsy's got the right station, but the wrong reason.
They have all been renamed. (Stainforth and Hatfield used to be Hatfield and Stainforth or t'other way round)
Kirknewton is the odd man out as it has been renamed several times.

 

[Robinson]

That's not what I was looking for.

 

[D6975]

Just realised that I misread Buttsy's post, hence my error.

Still think it's Kirknewton tho'

Have you got an alternative reason as to why it's Kirknewton?

 

[Trainfan344]

Kirknewton because it's the only one with one word in it's name, the others all have at least 2.

I believe it's Hatfield & Stainforth as it has only been renamed once (from Stainforth & Hatfield) whereas the others have each had two former names.

Still not right I'm afraid.

 

[D6975]

Kirknewton has gone full circle, its current name is also its original name, but it's had others inbetween.

 

[Robinson]

Nope.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Open floor. The answer I was looking for was - Mottisfont & Dunbridge is the only station which has a three-letter code which reflects its former name rather than its present one.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Cardiff Central
Bristol Temple Meads
Cheltenham Spa
Severn Tunnel Junction

 

[gnolife]

They all have direct service to Derby, apart from Severn Tunnel Junction?

That's not entirely true, as a few Nottingham services do call at Severn Tunnel. 1M00 0640 Cardiff to Nottingham is one example (calls at STJ at 0705).

But even so that's not what I'm looking for. A good guess though!

 

[Robinson]

Bristol Temple Meads is the only one not served by ATW?

Open floor if correct.

True, but not what I'm looking for.

Clue: platforms.

 

[Trainfan344]

Cheltenham Spa the only one not to have at least one bay platform

 

[ValleyLines142]

Cheltenham Spa the only one not to have at least one bay platform

Not quite, Severn Tunnel Junction doesn't have a bay platform either. Or Cardiff?

Think of the actual platform numbers!

 

[Trainfan344]

Cardiff Central only one to have a Platform 0?

 

[ValleyLines142]

Cardiff Central only one to have a Platform 0?

YES!! Well done

 

[Trainfan344]

Preston, Lowestoft, Manchester Piccadilly, Bolton Something to do with a bus service

 

[gnolife]

I know MAN and BON have free buses stopping adjacent to to the station, I am assuming therefore, that one of the remaining two will have one, and I'd guess that Lowestoft would be the odd one out in that respect.

 

[Trainfan344]

Is correct

 

[gnolife]

Gainsborough Central, Burnage, New Mills Central, Farringdon

The clue I'll give is information.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Farringdon is the only one down south?

 

[gnolife]

Nope, think about information provided at the station.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Gainsborough Central has no automated announcements maybe? A total guess!

That'll do.
